Free Shoes!

Yep yep! Check these babies out.. Don't worry. I put the old Noob Heels in the Lucky Chair, so you can still get them if you didn't before.

Free AO's

This question gets asked alot in a couple different groups. Who makes a good free AO for a new person? I have one in my store, based on the ZHAO HUD. I made it with poses from my good friend Neural Blankes. I needed an ao with a sexy walk and some nicer natural poses. I was tired of my "model" ao where I was talking to someone about business or what have you.. and BAM! I'm thrusting my crotch at them. Also annoying are the ao's where you yawn and stretch or walk around in a circle, or do a little dance like your bladder is full. Really, people!

Mine is here on Xstreet https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=1249721
Here is a GREAT male one. It's not $1L for gift giving but it IS transfer in world https://uncensored.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=1595960
and they make a nice female one also https://uncensored.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=1590721

Do you have a favorite free AO? Please tell me it's not that gangsta or ninja ao or that damn model one that has you posing on your toes all the time. Put it in the comments! We appreciate it.

Update! I have reset my damn Xstreet box and tested delivery.. please.. try again if you didn't receive your AO. Stupid SL..

Comments

Here we are in the middle of the year. It's not really summer here in my RL. It's been strangely cold and rainy. I wore a sweatshirt on the 4th of July! This is NOT midsummer in Ohio!

I've been pondering my store, again. I think I'm starting to make better shoes. I can rez some of my old old pairs and just CRINGE at the prim work. What was I THINKING?

So I need your help. I'm gonna post a couple questions here on my blog. If you feel like it. Answer them here, or send me a notecard in world. I will reward you with a pair of unreleased shoes. How's that for easy?

#1. When you are about to go shopping, how do you shop? Do you use the search, the blogs, etc?

#2. What makes you buy a certain product? Price, quality, name?

#3. How do you find out about sales and contest?

#4. What makes you add yourself to a subscribe o matic or in world group?

#5. What would make you more willing to purchase shoes from me?

#6. What do you dislike about my store and/or brand?

#7. Do you have a fashion blog and would you like to be my list for receiving review packs?

#8. What is your style, Goth, preppy, neko?

#9. What do you think is missing from shoes in SL?

#10. What is your inworld name and who would you like me to deliver the shoes to?

Thank you in advance!

Help Needed!

The Zero Linden store is an amazing place, filled with all sorts of good FREEBIES. Not dollarbies or cheapies. Freebies. It's done out of the goodness of the owner Naastik Rau's heart. As far as I know, the person who OWNS the sim hasn't paid LL and LL is repoing the sim. Naastik needs our help in finding a new place to go and GETTING the new place. I've moved in SL before and it's a paaain in the TUSH. Come help if you can. Rent an Adboard if you have a store, or just come donate a little cash, bring your friends. I've been in world for over three years and there are some good items here that I haven't even seen before.

Flickr your boogers

hahah.. I've restarted my Flickr group. There's a link on the side of my blog page. But if you look.. I've put a link here in the post. Miskat is my Flickr Guru. I knew NOTHING about Flickr til he yelled at me about letting my group go to pot. So.. any questions can be directed to ME.. but I'll just ask him about it. I know enough to log in and look a pics. Yay me! I did however, on my own, add a Flickr thingie to the side of my blog. Look at me! I can use technology. WOOT! I have special announcement coming tomorrow.. or well.. Sunday night in MY world about Flickr. Keep your eyes here.

I also have some amazing new stuff coming. Something that will REALLY interest those of you who LIKE shoes.. and you really really REALLY like them. *wink*

Naughty Naughty Reagen

I'm in alot of fun groups.. Hey Girlfriends, Fashion Emergency. I enjoy the people I find in these groups. A fun girl named Reagen Lebed asked the group for a wrist bandana.. I knew I had some sculptied parts in my inventory so I could make one.. and I even had some bandana textures.. I whipped one up for her.. and well.. I liked it so much.. I made 8 different colors and tossed them in a fatpack for $100L. They are in the front of the store.. ENJOY! Each one is copy and mod so you can fit it to your wrists..

Lace Trim Pumps

I like shoes.. I bet you didn't know it.
I've made my fall/winter palette.. rich yet subdued colors. Named after different types of alcohol. These are the first with the new palette. Come by the store to see them.

More Noobs!

NOOOBS!

We were all one... once.. some of us a couple times, depending on how many alts you have. Just playing around today and made.. Noob Slippers! Get them in the store.. for FREE!

Buckle Mules REDUX!

Ya know.. I don't usually do this kinda thing.. the past is the past. But when we were redoing the store, Kat and I took a good long look at some of my shoes. I realized.. I loved the styles.. and people were still buying them.. but.. I could do SOO much better now. In the rush to get the store done, I went ahead and updated some of my more famous pairs. The Buckle Mules Redux. With my famous stacked wood heel in a new cool shape, leather mule toe with a matched leather strap and gold buckle. Still the same old fab price of $95L. Comes in Garnet, Camel, Mustard, Hunter Cadet, Ocean, Plum, Earth, and Carbon. Right HERE in the new store. Check this style shot out! Aren't Kat and I adorable? :}

BANDANA DAY!

It's Bandana Day! Bandana Day is July 3rd when all us crazy Hair Lovers trade in our prim locks for a good cause. If you made it to the Hair Fair, I hope you picked up one of these fab $50L bandanas. All money goes to Locks of Love! So hurry down to the Hair Fair and grab one or two.. they are transferable so pick some up for a friend who can't handle the lag at the Fair.

Here I am in the Winx Bandana. I HAD to have it cause it goes SOOO well with my Carmen platforms I put outback at the Shoe Expo in 2008. Of course I had to do it up, old movie poster style. I usually don't do much postprocessing on my photos.. but.. Bandana Day called for it!

Just like Carrie's... Sorta

If you watched Sex in the City.. like I did.. you might remember those fab shoes Carrie wore.. when Miranda went into labor and Big paid the driver of the carriage to go to the hospital. Maybe it's just me.. eheheh.. Heels with ruffled ribbon down the arch of the foot.. My version have gems across the toes and a bow at the top. Mine are also alot cheaper.. :} only $95L a pair and come in Tomato, Papaya, Pineapple, Lime, Aqua, Cornflower, Eggplant, Rhubarb, Beige and Coffee. All in the NEW fab store by My Kat.. :}
